Calling All Young Artists From Around The World! Chaa Creek Wants To Hear From You
The Lodge at Chaa Creek is calling on young artists from around the world to use their talents to celebrate Belize’s beautiful wildlife.
Here, at one of Belize’s most popular eco-resorts, we love the outdoors. And with 400-acres of a private rainforest nature reserve as our backyard, we understand that it’s no fun to be cooped up indoors.
We also know how important it is right now for everyone to do their part, and make this Coronavirus history by staying indoors, and we want to thank you with our:
Chaa Creek Color Belize Art Competition
Are you
- between the ages of seven and 14,
- someone who loves wildlife: animals, birds, reptiles, insects and creatures of the sea,
- creative and enjoys making art, and
- would like to take your family on a vacation at Belize’s most casually luxurious eco-resort?
Then Chaa Creek’s Color Belize Art Competition is for you
This is a chance for you to create pictures of your favorite Belizean animal (or animals): animals, birds, reptiles, infections and creatures of the sea, and then show them to the world. Draw, paint, sketch, or use whatever medium you like to capture the look and feel of any creature you choose – from the largest to the smallest, as long as it’s an animal native to Belize, and fits on canvas or an art sheet that’s at least:
- 8.5 by 11 inches
And we receive it between:
- April 15th and July 15th, 2020
As long as you follow those simple rules, our judges will consider your artwork for one of three great prizes.
And remember – you can enter as many times as you like!
Color Belize Art Competition Prizes:
First Place – Three days and nights for a family of four, with some exciting activities that include guided visits to Chaa Creek’s Belize Natural History Museum and Butterfly Farm, exploring the Maya Medicinal Plant Trail, enjoying early morning birding walks, canoeing and tubing along the Macal River, and more.
Second Place – Two days and nights for a family of four with all the same activities included in the first-place prize.
Third Place – Artists receive Chaa Creek tee-shirts and have their signed artwork hung alongside the first and second place winners at a special display at The Lodge at Chaa Creek.
To enter, email us a copy of your artwork. We’re accepting electronic copies, but make sure you keep the original – if you win, we want our guests from around the world to enjoy seeing the real thing!
Send it to [email protected], with “Color Belize Art Competition,” in the subject line.
And include:
- A full color image of the subject of your artwork
- a description of what medium and materials you used,
- your full name, with a short bio, and
- tell us what you love about your Belize’s animal, or why Belizean animals are so important to you.
That’s all there is to it!
Winners will be announced by August 1st, 2020.
By staying inside and working together, you’re joining the world in getting rid of this virus.
And with your art, you’ll remind us of the beauty we can soon all be enjoying outside.
We look forward to hearing from you!
